Title says it all. I'd like to have a spare in case the DSA lower goes TU. Am I stuck with DSA lowers or are there others to be had for around the same price ($150).

Looks like they only make it in the Para configuration.

Be advised, all other than DSA and Falcon will be steel rather than the aluminum that, I assume, you have now. Unless you find one of the FN hidinium(?) units.

Two quick questions on these aluminum lowers, as the topic's been broached.

1. Is the weight savings substantial enough to get one?

2. Does DSA make the aluminum ones with the picatinny rail for AR-15 sights? Really looking into that atm, but haven't found any reports of folks who have who can say yea/nay.
